Yes you can look on the bottom of the laptop you need to see what flavor of windows the laptop came with if an xp home key then find a home disk if you cant gt ahold of a disk you can download one from a peer to peer site like thepiratebay.org it will be compleatly leagle since you have a cd key on the laptop use the key on the bottom when it asks for a key ...if you dont care about the license issue i wold download last xp vr22

Have you created the Recovery CD's? If so, put the recovery CD in the disc drive and restart your machine. Most notebooks start from CD first and then from hard drive. If not, you could change that in it's BIOS. (Press F10 at the moment you see the HP Invent logo).

When the disc boots it allows you to choose from multiple options. Choose the options that sounds like "Restore factory defaults" or something like it.

The D-partition is only used to create the disc and hold info. There is no software there to run for recovery.

I hope this helps, if you need more help just ask.I work at a company who is an HP Partner so.
